Southwest Rice Pilaf
This recipe is part of the latest 21 Gluten Free Meals from Costco Plan. Please note that the photo above includes green peppers, but the plan calls for red peppers. Peppers can be interchanged easily in recipes, so feel free to use either red or green...depending on what your store has, and what your taste preferences are. Love this simple one-dish vegetarian meal. Hope … [Read more...]
4-Ingredient Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas
Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner...and you know what that means... Tex-Mex food abounds at our house. All.week.long. There are many reasons that we moved our family from Ohio to Texas in 2012. And I'm beginning to think that one of the sub-conscience reasons for moving was to be back in the land of amazing Tex-Mex food. (Please pass the homemade flour … [Read more...]

Salsa Verde Beef Street Tacos with Cilantro Slaw
Well, I'm officially on a salsa verde shredded meat kick. Last week, it was pork tacos with salsa verde and some chopped jalapenos. This week, it's this shredded beef with an simple cilantro slaw on top. Both meats were cooked in the slow cooker. (Because I NEED my slow cooker these days...here's why. After this week, I wish to never see a doctor's office or hospital again. … [Read more...]
Chicken Pineapple Stir-fry with Coconut Rice
Sometimes the ingredient stars just align and the meal that I was thinking about, turns out even better than I imagined. I wanted to make something that I knew the boys would love, using a can of coconut milk I've had in the pantry for a few weeks. (I purchased it with this recipe in mind, but just haven't made it yet.) I also picked up a can of pineapple recently with a coupon … [Read more...]
Salsa Verde Shredded Pork Tacos
Delish. That is all. So these shredded pork were enjoyed by everyone in the family. Yes...everyone...including the dog... I suppose we could call this a photography hazard...placing the food on the deck floor because that was the best spot with the best lighting... #DogApproved y'all! Ha. This shredded pork was cooked with a few ingredients...garlic … [Read more...]

Slow Cooker Ham & Beans
Y'all...I'm thrilled to be bringing another great recipe from HurstBeans, a longtime partner of $5 Dinners. We all know how delicious, filling and hearty beans can be...in fact, just this evening I was talking with the boys about how we'll be enjoying many a beans-based meal in their lifetime...because they are bottomless pits. And beans fill bottomless pits well. And they do … [Read more...]
Ham and Cheese Breakfast Egg-Tacos
Having a mixed bag of food allergies and intolerances in our family makes certain dinner ideas and concepts a challenge...but what I love about this one...it easily catered to my egg-free child and my gluten-free child, both of whom happen to be dairy free as well. Ryan enjoyed this ham and egg rollup that you see above...even had a second 'egg tortilla.' Tyler enjoyed a ham … [Read more...]
